Huge win for car owners! All TSBs to be made public.
The Center for Auto Safety just made the NHTSA (US Government) make public the full text of all TSBs from now on. They are the same organization that has petitioned the NHTSA & filed lawsuits to protect car owners over exploding gas tanks & other major safety issues.
Whenever you drive in your car, you are safer thanks in part to a lot of work over the years by this small but very effective consumer advocacy group.

I don't know if there's an actual problem, or if the light is just coming on randomly. I first noticed it several months ago, shortly after I got my brakes redone on all four wheels. The ABS light came on when I started up the car, and remained on for as long as the engine was running. But if I turned the car off for any reason and restarted it, the light wouldn't come on again. It would do this about once a month, for a day or two. It seems to be turning on more frequently now, but it's still not lit all the time. Is this a fluid thing? Is there an actual brake problem? I hear squealing from time to time from my front brakes when stopping, but I don't know if that's related.
